NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby set forth their acknowledgements, understandings
and intentions under this MOU:
1 . Purpose. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as specifically set forth below,
the purpose of this MOU is not to bind the Parties to any obligation but to set forth the Parties '
intention to cooperate in good faith to negotiate a binding agreement under which the Property
Owners will pay the Owners ' Share to the City (the "Binding Agreement"), including how the
Property Owners intend to use the Metro Districts to pay eligible Project and other public
improvement costs .
2 . Metro Districts .
a. The Parties agree that the Binding Agreement will set out the process and timeline
by which the Property Owners will submit to the City a Service Plan for each of the
Metro Districts for City staff review and City Council ' s subsequent formal
consideration. Nothing contained herein or in the Binding Agreement shall be
deemed to limit the discretion of the City Council in the public hearing process as
it considers resolutions of approval of the Service Plans. Each Property Owner may
prepare Service Plans and petition the formation of Development Metro Districts
as separate "taxing" and "service" districts. Such Service Plans shall be consistent
with and satisfy the requirements of the District Act and include, without limitation,
the following provisions :
i . Authority for the Development Metro Districts to impose a property tax levy
of up to 80 mills less the amount of the Project Mill Levy (defined below)
on the Properties and all other taxable property within the boundaries of the
Development Metro Districts to be used to fund the construction, operation
and maintenance of public improvements, including basic infrastructure,
related to the future development of the Properties (the "Development Mill
Levy"),
ii . Authority for the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District to impose a
property tax mill levy at a rate not less than 5 . 0 mills nor greater than 10 . 0
mills, net of administrative costs of collection, on the Properties and all
other taxable property within the boundaries of the I-25/Prospect
Interchange Metro District (the "Project Mill Lew").
iii . Authority for the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District to impose
development fees on future development on the Properties in amounts
agreed to in the Binding Agreement, in an amount to be determined but not
to exceed $5 ,000 per net developable acre, payable at the time of issuance
of each vertical development permit, ("Project Fees") and to enter into an
intergovernmental agreement with the City to irrevocably pledge all of the
revenues from the Project Mill Levy, the Project Fees and the PIF received
by the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District to the payment of the costs
of the Project in an amount not greater than the Owners ' Share (the " Capital
Pledge Agreement") . The Parties agree to proceed in good faith to
4
negotiate substantially final forms of the Capital Pledge Agreement and the
Binding Agreement for attachment as exhibits to the Service Plan for the I-
25/Prospect Interchange Metro District, giving specific attention to (a) the
method of calculation and adjustment, if any, of the Owners ' Share, (b) the
timing, duration, and terms of payment from the above-referenced sources
of the obligation of the 1-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District under the
Capital Pledge Agreement; and (c) the effect of delays, if any, in the
issuance and publication by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
of a final Letter of Map Revisions for the Boxelder Creek Drainage upon
such payments . The Binding Agreement and the Service Plans will also
reserve to each Metro District the right to charge additional fees or charges
for services, programs or facilities furnished by such Metro Districts in
addition to those identified herein as being related to the Project ("District
Fees"), the revenue from which shall not be pledged to the City;
iv. Condition that the 1-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District must submit a
ballot issue to its electorate at a May 8 , 2018 , organizational election that
complies with all applicable requirements of Colorado ' s Taxpayer' s Bill of
Rights (known as "TABOR") and any other applicable law in order to
authorize the 1-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District to impose the Project
Mill Levy and to approve the Capital Pledge Agreement as a binding
multiple-fiscal year obligation for payment of the Owners ' Share from all
or any combination of proceeds of the Project Mill Levy, the Project Fees
and the portion of the PIF received by the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro
District, and the voters of the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District must
approve such ballot issue;
v. Condition that the Development Metro Districts cannot impose any of the
Development Mill Levy, impose any Project or District Fees or issue any
debt unless and until the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District and the
City have entered into the Capital Pledge Agreement;
vi. Condition that the Development Metro Districts cannot impose any of the
Development Mill Levy, impose any Project or District Fees or issue any
debt without the Property Owners recording against each of their respective
Properties the PIF Covenant, in a form first approved by and acceptable to
the City, to be in effect until the Owners ' Share is paid in full to the City;
vii. Condition that the Capital Pledge Agreement shall not be entered into and
no Project Mill Levy or Project or District Fees shall be imposed or
collected unless and until any proposed Metro District Service Plans,
containing the authorities referenced above, that have been duly filed with
the City are approved as contemplated in this MOU;
viii . Requirement that the Project Mill Levy and the Project Fees collected by
the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District to pay the Owners ' Share as
required by the Capital Pledge Agreement shall expire when the Owners '
5
Share is paid in full to the City. The Property Owners and/or each
Development Metro District shall retain the right to continue to impose,
collect, receive and apply the PIF and any District Fees deemed appropriate
by such Property Owner and/or Development Metro District to the extent
authorized in the Service Plans and the District Act; and
ix. Requirement that the 1-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District and its right
to impose taxes and fees shall terminate upon the payment in full of the
Owners ' Share.
3 . Property Owners ' Right-of-Way Credit. The Parties understand that CDOT will be
seeking to acquire from one or more of the Property Owners portions of their Properties to be used
as right-of-way for the Project ("Proiect ROW") . The Binding Agreement will provide that
affected Property Owners may elect, in lieu of collecting direct compensation from CDOT, to
dedicate their portion of the Project ROW compensation to CDOT and the value of that dedication
will be applied as a credit against the Owners ' Share ("ROW Credit") . The value of the ROW
Credit is not currently known by the Parties, but is currently estimated to be within a range of
$5009000 to $ 1 ,000,000 . The agreed value of the ROW Credit (solely for purposes of the Binding
Agreement) will be addressed in the Binding Agreement. None of the Property Owners intends,
by the execution of this MOU or any document contemplated hereby, to waive its rights to full and
just compensation for the taking of its property or to due process with respect to such right of way
acquisition.
4 . Property Owners ' Credit for Transportation Capital Expansion Fees . The City
currently has $ 1 .4 million of transportation capital expansion fee revenues ("TCEFs") available
to help fund this Project. In recognition of the TCEFs that the Property Owners are likely to pay
to the City when they develop their Properties, the City is willing to agree in the Binding
Agreement to credit one half of these available TCEFs, or $700,000, to the payment of the Owners '
Share, so long as the Property Owners are not in default of any applicable terms and conditions of
the Binding Agreement ("TCEF Credit") .
5 . Owners ' Share after Credits . The Parties anticipate that if the Binding Agreement grants
to the Property Owners a ROW Credit of $500,000 and the TCEF Credit of $700,000, the
remaining balance of the Owners ' Share will be approximately $7 . 05 million plus interest as
provided in paragraph 6 below.
6 . I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District' s Obligation to Fund Owners ' Share. The
Project Mill Levy, the Project Fees and any PIF revenues received by the I-25/Prospect Metro
District shall be imposed, secured and collected in the manner provided by law, and the revenues
derived from such taxes and fees shall be pledged pursuant to the Capital Pledge Agreement for
payment of the Owners ' Share . The obligation of the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District to
pay the Owners ' Share under the Capital Pledge Agreement shall be approved by the electors of
the I-25/Prospect Interchange Metro District as provided in Section 2(a)(iv) hereof and shall
constitute the unconditional, valid and binding limited tax general obligation of the I-25/Prospect
Interchange Metro District, secured by its covenant to impose general ad valorem property taxes
at a rate not to exceed 10 . 0 mills in each year, net of administrative costs of collection, together
with the proceeds of PIFs and other available funds and revenues to pay an amount equal to each
6
annual installment of the Owners ' Share identified in the Capital Pledge Agreement. Nothing
herein prevents agreements among the Property Owners for the allocation or sharing of all or a
portion of the Owners ' Share, provided that any agreement among and between the Property
Owners or among and between the Metro Districts for the allocation of liability or rights of
contribution for payment of the Owners ' Share, will be pursuant to separate agreement(s) to which
the City will not be a party nor bound to in any way. In the event that revenues allocated in the
Capital Pledge Agreement to pay any annual installment of the Owners ' Share are not sufficient,
the unpaid amount of that installment shall accrue interest from the date payment is due until paid
at the interest rate the City charges under its "Inter-agency Loan Program" found in Section 8 . 8 of
its "Financial Management Policy 8 . "
7 . Future Negotiations . Upon the full execution of this MOU, the Parties intend to proceed
diligently and in good faith to negotiate the Binding Agreement consistent with the
acknowledgements, understandings and intentions stated in this MOU. The primary
representatives and legal counsel in these negotiations for the City and each of the Property Owners
shall be those persons designated in Section 10(a). It is the Parties ' intention to complete these
negotiations and enter into the Binding Agreement by March 7, 2018 .
8 . Capped Costs . The Parties acknowledge and agree that for purposes of the Property
Owners ' obligations under this MOU, the Binding Agreement and all other agreements
contemplated herein, total Project cost and the total cost of the Urban Design Feature shall be
capped at the amounts set forth in the Recitals .
